Day 3

Aloha, Crew, today was great sailing. 12 to 15 knots out of the east, all day long. We encountered no squalls today, with none on the horizon as the sun sets. Our average speed today was 6.4. We've been eating well, but no one is over hungry, provisions are holding very well. Les, Don went back to the bolt for the rudder and tightened it, again. The impact was immediate. No clanking, and tiller play at a minimum. Received your e-mail, but, Don would prefer to tighten daily, if needed. As of 6 p.m., we have 1634 miles to go. Our position is: N 27*54.766 W 153*20.769 Thanks for the Tiger update.Back to the sunset, John
